The Ontario Hockey League is proud to announce that 155 OHL players have been invited to attend National Hockey League Training Camps this season.
147 of the players competed in the OHL last season while eight players are committed to their OHL clubs for this season. All 155 players are eligible to return to the OHL for the 2015-16 season including 105 players born in either 1996 or 1997, while 50 of the players are 1995-born and would return as overage players.
Of the 155 players, 104 were selected through the NHL Draft, 47 are free agent invites, and four are undrafted free agent signed prospects. In total, 58 of the players attending NHL Camps have signed entry-level contracts including 29 who would return as overage players.
All 20 OHL clubs have sent at least three players to NHL Training Camps with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds leading the way by sending 14 players to various camps, followed by the Niagara IceDogs and Oshawa Generals with 11 players each, while the Erie Otters, London Knights, North Bay Battalion, and Owen Sound Attack have sent 10 players each.
